SkiaSharp is a cross-platform 2D graphics API for .NET platforms based on Google's
Skia Graphics Library (https://skia.org/). It provides a comprehensive 2D API that can
be used across mobile, server and desktop models to render images.

SkiaSharp provides cross-platform bindings for:

 - .NET Standard 1.3
 - .NET Core
 - Tizen
 - Xamarin.Android
 - Xamarin.iOS
 - Xamarin.tvOS
 - Xamarin.watchOS
 - Xamarin.Mac
 - Windows Classic Desktop (Windows.Forms / WPF)
 - Windows UWP (Desktop / Mobile / Xbox / HoloLens)

The [API Documentation](https://developer.xamarin.com/api/namespace/SkiaSharp/) is
available on the web to browse.

## Using SkiaSharp

SkiaSharp is available as a convenient NuGet package, to use install the package like this:

```
nuget install SkiaSharp
```

_Because there are multiple distros of Linux, and we cannot possibly support them all, we have a separate NuGet package that will contain the supported binaries for a few distros: [SkiaSharp.NativeAssets.Linux](https://www.nuget.org/packages/SkiaSharp.NativeAssets.Linux). ([distros](https://github.com/mono/SkiaSharp/issues/453)) ([more info](https://github.com/mono/SkiaSharp/issues/312))_

## Building SkiaSharp

Before building SkiaSharp:

 * [Python 2.7](https://www.python.org/downloads) is available in the `PATH` environment variable on Windows
 * [Android NDK r15](https://developer.android.com/ndk/downloads/index.html) is available in the `ANDROID_NDK_HOME` environment variable on macOS
 * [.NET Core](https://www.microsoft.com/net/core) is installed on all platforms
 * C/C++ Compiler (MSVC / "Desktop development" package on Windows)

First, clone the repository:

    $ git clone https://github.com/mono/SkiaSharp.git

Next, set up the submodules:

    $ cd SkiaSharp
    $ git submodule update --init --recursive

Finally, build everything:

Mac/Linux:

    $ ./bootstrapper.sh -t everything

Windows:

    > .\bootstrapper.ps1 -t everything
